Virgin Coconut Oil And Fat

HOW DO YOU GET FAT

Why we should calculate the calorie.


Normally obesity happened when the food that we consume is more than what our body requires. This phenomena happened when the food we eat are converted into energy either to strengthen the metabolic function or for our physical activities. However if there is an excess energy it will be converted into fat and enter the cell to become cellulite in the legs, waist and buttocks. Therefore the more we eat the bigger will be our body.

Energy found in food is measured in calorie. Everyone need a certain amount of calorie to look after the basic function of the metabolic process. All these processes enable life to sustain for examples; to ensure the heart continues to beat, the lung continues to breathe, and the stomach continues to digest the food that strengthen each and every cellular process. The number that body use the calorie to carry out the metabolic activities is called named basal metabolic rate (BMR) that is the total amount of calories needed by an inactive body. Whatever activity no matter how light will require additional calories. Two-third of the calories used daily is to take care of the basic metabolic function. Everyone has a different BMR. Many factors determine the BMR and the number of calories required by the body. Younger people need more calorie than older people. Physically adults need more calories than an inactive person. People who are fasting are very hungry or people on diet use fewer calories than the ordinary people.

Two dominant factors that influence body weight reduction are calorie intake and physical activities.

Example; A person who is 150lb working by just sitting operating a computer keyboard only requires 1600 calories and 800 calories for other activities. He needs 2400 calorie / day in order to maintain his body weight. If his calorie intake is only 2300 calorie he will have to obtain the additional calorie by breaking down the fats in his body. The consequence is he will loose his body fat. But if his calorie intake is more than the body required, the excess will be stored as fats. If he is an athlete, because of his physical activities he will have to add to his daily calorie intake, for example up to 2500 calorie per day. His body weight will fall because the extra 100 calories needed will be drawn from the body fat. That is why an active person usually appears much slimmer than an inactive person. Normally women require fewer calorie than men approximately 200-400 calories lesser.

For example, a man who works as a school guard, he requires around 2600-2800 calories per day to uphold his body weight. If he performs heavy work, such as manual work, he will require 2800-3200 calorie daily. Such person needs around 2200-3200 calorie daily to carry out his daily activity. Women usually smaller and less muscular need around 200-400 calorie lesser.


Quick Body Weight Reduction,Is it True??

Have you seen an advertisement saying “I reduced 25 kg of my body weight in 4 weeks”. "I reduce my measurement from 18 to 8 in 30 days”. All diet programs can achieve fast weight reduction. The question is, is it really possible for a person to loose weight that fast?

Consider the following fact:-

One pound (half kg) of body fat keeps 3500 calorie, to lower its weight the amount of calories that enter must be repetitively smaller than 3500 calorie. On the average a reduction of 500 calories/ day or 3500 calorie a week will be able to reduce the weight by as much as 1/2 kg (one pound) a week. A reduction of 1000 calorie each day equals to a reduction of 2 pounds weekly. To cut down 1000 calories daily, they should cut down their meal by half of the normal meal. That is a huge reduction. This implies that loosing takes time. Therefore it is not possible to loose 25kg of fat in just 6 weeks, unless they consumed nothing else but water. A reduction of 3 to 6 kg in 6 weeks is more realistic.


Removes excessive fat- obesity

The total number of overweight people had continued to rise during the last 20 years, especially during the last 10 years. According to the The Center For Disease Control And Prevention (CDC), overweight people in America had increased during the 10 years from 12% to 17.9% of the entire population. Also in America, 55% of the entire population are having weight problem, one out of four adult is considered fat or as much as 25% of the teenagers are having weight problem. More children are becoming fat, resulting in a drastic rise in the number of overweight children (50% increase) during the last 30 years. This happened in Britain, Germany and other European countries as well.

From the medical perspective, obesity is a serious problem. With an excessive body weight, a person run the risk of contracting a disease. A person is considered fat if his/her weight is more than 20% of his/her normal weight. For over the last 10 years obesity had increased as much as 70% among people who are 18-29 years. For those age between 30-39 years the figure shot up by 50%. All other age group that experience dramatic body weight increased suffered acute myocardial infarction, bile, diabetes, osteoarthritis and premature death.

If body weight problem can be overcome that means the body will be more healthy, more so if it is done without the use of drugs. Most people strive to reduce their body weight by following various programs such as reducing fatty food and increasing carbohydrates. Clearly it makes them suffer but not achieving the desired result.

A minority still regarded eating healthily means maintaining a balanced, avoiding fat and using “healthy” oil such as margarine and vegetable oil as basic food. In actual fact if we study what is healthy food and virgin coconut oil, they have made a mistake by taking the wrong oil. Hence they should replace vegetable oil with virgin coconut oil, use butter instead of margarine, a little bit of sweet food and consume more fiber. This will make the body healthier without the need to reduce the usual amount of food. Moreover by taking virgin coconut oil they will get more energy compared to before.

This way of dieting can actually reduce the body weight without being we being conscious.

Virgin Coconut Oil Benefits to the Eyes

Saturated and unsaturated fats can be pro-oxidative and inflammatory. It is very important that your macular degeneration diet uses fats that will not cause free radical damage and that are in fact good for you. Being aware of what fats need to be eliminated and what fats need to be included in our diet can help protect our retinas and our maculas from more oxidative damage. Saturated fats are solid at room temperature. Many of us, including me, stayed away from all saturated fats for many years.

I was unaware that we need a certain amount of saturated fats to produce cholesterol. You might be thinking, "I don't want more cholesterol - I want less." Well cholesterol actually plays many important roles in the health of our body such as:

1. It is an important component of our cell membranes

2. It is a precurser to many of the bodies hormones

Our bodies need cholesterol. However, we need to be wise about how we obtain these saturated fats and choose healthy ways of ingesting them. Most saturated fats come from red meats, processed foods, dairy products or poultry. According to Dr. Michael Samuel, the author of Macular Degeneration - A Complete Guide for Patients and Their Families, bad fats coming from sources listed above can be pro-inflammatory. He says, "Reducing your intake of these fats will reduce slow burning inflammation."

Virgin Coconut Oil Benefits

Virgin coconut oil benefits are found in virgin coconut oil which uses fresh coconut meat. No chemicals or high heat are used in the processing method.

Look for virgin coconut oil that is certified organic and made from fresh, organic coconuts. Coconut oil is NOT hydrogenated, and contains NO trans fatty acids. Although it is a saturated fat, it is a medium chain fatty acid. This means that the body uses it more efficiently and it can be used quickly for energy.

Coconut Oil for Cooking
According to Jessica K. Black, N.D. in her book, The Anti-Inflammation Diet and Recipe Book, "The damage done by oxidation of fats usually occurs when heating a relatively unstable fat. Using a monounsaturated fat such as canola oil in baking or cooking leaves the body more susceptible to oxidative damage."

This is not so when cooking with coconut oil. Coconut oil is a great oil to use for cooking and baking because it remains stable in high temperatures and for extended periods of time such as baking. Coconut oil does not transform into dangerous trans-fatty acids and it is better than olive oil for cooking at high temperatures.

Yesterday, as I was working outside a man handed me a coupon and a take-out menu for a new Chinese restaurant in our neighborhood. He was touting how healthy the food was because they didn't use MSG and he informed me that they used only vegetable oil for all of their cooking.

I didn't want to "pop his bubble" - but if you are wanting to transition to an anti-inflammatory diet or one that is healthy for your macula - it is important to know that cooking with vegetable oil is NOT healthy.

You may find that surprising - because most of us cook and bake with vegetable oil - or in my case, used to.
Heat turns most oils into trans fats. These fats are pro-oxidative and produce free radicals which leads to aging and other degenerative diseases, like macular degeneration.

It could be that a plate of stir fried vegetables sauteed with an unstable vegetable oil at high heat may not be that healthy for you.

Organic virgin coconut oil has replaced all of my vegetable oils for cooking. I bake breads and muffins with it, make pancakes and saute vegetables. David Wolfe writes in his book, Superfoods: The Food and Medicine of the Future, "One of the greatest pieces of information you could derive from this book is to only and exclusively use coconut oil for all your cooking needs." I'd have to agree. It is an easy change to make without compromising on flavor and taste.
